LEBANON HIGHLINE &ADVENTURE FESTIVAL

ADVENTURE SPORTS, THE MIDDLE EAST, AND THE REFUGEE CRISIS

Calling all adventure athletes, partners, and supporters:

Join us in Lebanon in April, 2018, for an international adventure festival with a sports diplomacy twist.

THE FESTIVAL

The Lebanon Highline and Adventure Festival

HIGHLINING | CLIMBING | PARAGLIDING | CAPOEIRA

At the end of April, we’re hosting an international highline and adventure sports festival in Kadisha Valley, Lebanon. Our goal is to bring together a vibrant crew of international adventure athletes to experience the Middle East first-hand and to use our sports to connect people across cultural and political divides.

Come establish new climbing routes, walk highlines, fly off cliffs, and share your passions with a multi-sport and international community.

THE FILM

Adventure sports and the refugee crisis

In October, a Crossing Lines team spent two weeks in Lebanon teaching refugee youth to slackline and scouting the location for the Lebanon Highline and Adventure Festival. For the first half of April, we will be teaching and installing permanent slackline systems to create a long term slackline education program for refugee youth.

A dedicated media team will capture the festival and our time teaching in the refugee settlements to tell an engaging, approachable, and hopeful story of Lebanon and the refugee crisis.

Our mission is to change perspectives about refugees and immigrants, to reduce fear, and to grow a healthy community across cultures.
